Chapter 233 The Truth About Regulus
Kreacher, who was controlled by Light with magic, slowly told his experiences one by one.
How to find the entrance to the cave, how to summon the boat, and how to go to the terrifying Jedi with its beloved master.
When Kreacher talked about it, they came to the island in the middle of the lake.
"So Regulus is just like Voldemort? Watching you drink the potion with arrogance."
Sirius's expression turned very ugly. He gritted his teeth and stared at Kreacher who was beginning to tremble.
He seemed very dissatisfied with his brother's behavior which was similar to Voldemort's!
Hearing someone slandering his most beloved master, Kreacher's body trembled even more violently, and his ugly face became distorted.
It screamed madly, howled and argued loudly:
"No, that's not it! Master didn't do that. Master took out a box similar to the Dark Lord's."
As he spoke, Kreacher's tears gushed out and poured down from both sides of his big nose.
"Young Master... Young Master asked Kreacher to hold it. Once the stone basin filled with potion is empty, he will use it to replace the box..."
Kreacher's howls turned into screams of panic, as if the entire elf was trapped in that horrific memory.
"The Master also ordered Kreacher to leave... The Master also told Kreacher... to return home..."
"…You can't tell the mistress yet…The young master also wants Klee to destroy…the Dark Lord's box."
"The young master drank... all the potions... Klee switched the box... and... and watched... the young master... being dragged under the water... and..."
"That's enough! You shameful creature, you have betrayed your master."
Sirius, angered by the truth that Kreacher told, rushed over and pinned Kreacher to the ground.
He pointed his magic wand at its big head and shouted angrily:
"You didn't drink the potion, and you didn't save your master, so you should die together..."
"Calm down! Sirius, calm down..."
Lupin, who was watching, hurried forward and forcibly pulled Sirius away, who was about to kill Kreacher.
The Confusion Spell, which was already on the verge of getting out of control, was broken directly by Sirius's action just now.
And Wright did not continue to cast the spell, but turned to look at Sirius who was struggling.
After recovering, Kreacher immediately knelt on the ground, banging his head wildly on the ground, blood constantly flowing out.
"Stop it, Sirius stop it!"
Lupin excitedly shouted to Sirius, who was under his control:
"If you want to know the truth behind all this, you must stop it, or it will punish itself to death."
Sirius struggled for a long time but failed to break free from Lupin's control. With red eyes, he shouted:
"Kreacher, stop. I order you as the heir of the Black family, stop!"
The elf, who was punishing himself, suddenly stiffened and then fell straight to the ground.
Kreacher, lying on the ground, gasping for breath with his body trembling, was still wailing about his own uselessness.
After seeing Sirius and Kreacher calm down a bit, Wright continued to guide them:
"Kreacher, when you brought Voldemort's box home, did you ever try to destroy it?"
"Tell me everything! Otherwise, you know what I will do."
Wright's calm words frightened Kreacher, who was still blaming himself, and he said with a choked voice:
"Tried... Kreacher tried...but nothing Kreacher did could destroy it."
"It's not even possible to leave the slightest trace on it!"
Kreacher kept groaning, and under Wright's urging, he gave up and told the following story:
"Kreacher tried everything, everything Kreacher knew, but... but nothing worked..."
"Too much powerful magic has been cast on the box. Kreacher is sure of a way to destroy it."
"It means destroying the box from the inside, but Klee can't open it..."
"Kreacher can't do it, Kreacher really can't do it, Kreacher can't destroy the box!"
Sirius leaned weakly on Lupin, giving a self-deprecating smile.
It seemed to be mocking the uselessness of this house-elf, and also seemed to be mocking its own ignorance.
Kreacher was still lying on the ground, crying and choking as he spoke the following words:
"The young master suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the mistress couldn't bear the shock and went crazy."
"But...but Kreacher can't tell the mistress what happened in the cave."
"Kreacher can't. Master forbids...forbids Kreacher to tell anyone in the family about anything that happened in the cave..."
After Kreacher finished speaking, he fell to the ground and cried. Lupin looked at Kreacher with a face full of sympathy.
Sirius, who hated Kreacher very much, simply closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to pay any more attention to it.
And Wright took this opportunity to open the wooden box that Kreacher gave him.
Inside was a moving photo of a young man and a small golden locket.
"Is it this one?"
Ignoring the photo, Wright took out the small box which looked very expensive.
The box is strung with a white chain, and the front looks like a square pocket watch, with mysterious runes engraved around it.
In the middle, there is a green gem inlaid into an S-shaped mark, which looks like a snake.
At this moment, Kreacher, who was lying on the ground, seemed to sense something and suddenly screamed loudly: "Destroy it, destroy it quickly!"
"It's what made all this happen!"
"The young master shouldn't have died. It was that useless Kreacher who should have died."
After saying that, Kreacher once again madly attacked the floor with his head.
"Stop! I told you to stop!"
The continuous collision sounds made Sirius's face turn extremely ugly.
Hearing his master's rebuke, Kreacher whimpered and slowly stopped punishing himself.
But its body was still lying on the ground, still shaking and twitching.
"Wright, how did you know this?"
Light, who was looking at the Horcrux, suddenly heard Lupin's curious and vigilant question.
A nightmare black fog spread out, isolating the constant whispers from the Horcruxes, and then looked at Lupin and said:
"I can occasionally see the future, and this pendant happened to be one of them."
As the most stable adult, Lupin did not question Light's mysterious explanation, but nodded in agreement.
At this time, Sirius also looked over and asked in a daze:
"Why would Regulus be willing to give his life for this thing? Why is Voldemort so careful?"
Hearing Sirius's question, not only Lupin but also Kreacher looked over, hoping to get an explanation.
"Horcrux! Slytherin's locket. In a sense, it's... Voldemort!"
